Chanthaboon Waterfront Community
ชุมชนริมน้ำจันทบูร
A century-old street of wooden houses running along the river for about 1 km, where Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and French styles blend, and cafés and traditional pastries abound.
The old street runs about 1 km along the Chanthaboon River. It preserves many 19th- and 20th-century Chinese shophouses, Thai timber houses, and multi-story buildings with French carved decoration, and it has won a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award. You can visit the Baan Luang Rajamaitri old house, now a learning center, taste Vietnamese pork rolls, pastries and old-style coffee, and stroll along the riverbank in the evening. It is livelier on weekends, and some shops close early on weekdays.
